Wotan was my soul dog and followed me everywhere. He loved playing and was born for the sport of agility and competed until the age of twelve. He enjoyed retirement, whether it was sleeping in bed or getting the best spot on the couch or joining us for a hike.

Wotan showed us this week what true starpower he really has, modeling for a Ralph Lauren fashion shoot one day, and then the next day, going to an agility trial and qualifying in Excellent Standard with a 2nd place! What makes this accomplishment even more special is that he has had a two-month hiatus from agility so he really surprised me.

The location for the shoot was on an estate in western New Jersey, near Bedminster. This area is big horse country and the USET headquarters are located nearby.

Wotan and his Brazilian model, Vanessa. Their pictures will appear in the Ralph Lauren outlet stores in December.

Wotan was not starstruck and just relaxed and enjoyed the day, as well as the bagel used for bait.It was 95 degrees outside and long day of waiting. We spent much of the day hanging out in this lovely kitchen, full of catered food, a bonus as these jobs.

Can you imagine having this reflecing pool and gorgeous stone building in your backyard?

This was taken in one of the many greenhouses on the property. The landscaping and exotic foliage was breathtaking.
